Depends what you're curious about. Don't be so doctrinaire. Read widely and take in everything. Make your own mind up about it.

>>20474 If you want a short primer on Marx by Engels, you can read
Ludwig Feuerbach and the End of Classical German Philosophy (attached) which gives an overview of the context Marx was working in and how his contributions fit into the history of philosophy.
